How does he propose we resolve the question of non-white people in the country? What is his solution?

A redux of the "Final Solution"...only this time all subhumans are to be used as forced labor!

But that isn't what he'll say...

Since these groups have connections to the self-appointed "border watchers" and the Teabagger groups.

I said to my husband that if these nuts start winning major offices en masse, I'm outta here. He can stay if he wants, but I'm gettin' the hell out of dodge. I'll clean toilets in Italy with my PhD, I don't care.


I teach Latin American history, and the Nazis on the border is nothing new to me. But my husband didn't know. He kind of gave me a funny look when that part came on and said "Did you know about this?" Um, yes, yes I did.

Freaked me the hell out.

But the dyed-in-the-wool Nazis are for real, and my career choice is already under attack in Arizona. I hear you, though. It will hopefully not come to that.

The guy's 10 year old kid shoots and kills his Nazi dad. So the question then becomes why. I wish 60 Minutes had delved more into that. But I'm glad they somewhat touched on what I was already thinking... It just plain boiled down to a very impressionable kid, in an increasingly hate filled (and quickly becoming) violent home.

The father's recent economic woes were only a small contributing part of it. The Nazi hate group he had immersed himself in was so powerful a twisted, evil, 'vibe' (not sure how else to put it), that it overflowed into every aspect of who he was. How can someone be around that and not be negatively influenced by it?

And the boy, having also been around it constantly w/the meetings, had to have soaked some of that up himself. Don't get me wrong, at the age of 10, he likely had little understanding of the real implications, however, having been with his father on some of the Nazi group's militia BS "missions", he probably had become extremely desensitized to the idea of killing--- in real life.

Ok, so now the Nazi dad is dead, the boy is in Juvie and the paternal grandmother has custody of his sisters- Not so sure that is a great idea either. When interviewed about how she (the grandmother) intended to approach the children's political upbringing; if she would continue w/the Neo Nazi stuff, she smugly says something to the effect of (paraphrasing) "Oh no! The children will be raised as conservative republicans!"...

As if today's republican party is SUCH a giant leap from the hate group her son became involved with.

"Oh no! The children will be raised as conservative republicans!"

Thanks for the synopsis, I didn't see it, but do remember the story of the boy killing his Nazi father. I too would like to know why he did that.

These groups don't have more than a few hundred members in a nation of 310 million people. They have zero influence.

They run for office (in fact, one just won a GOP office in Luzerne county, PA), they patrol the border in Arizona, and I believe have been growing-not shrinking- in number for years.
